Key Themes On the Agenda Include:

Our Network Transformation stream will explore what the network of the future will look like, covering key technologies including SDN, NFV and MEC, and strategies for most effectively deploying them. It will also take in convergence and how this is changing our understanding of the network.

Data Driven Technologies will encompass emerging technologies including AI, the IoT, smart cities and more. It will define key strategies telcos must adopt if they are to capitalise on the opportunities they bring.

The clue is in the title for this stream! With commercial deployments of 5G slated for 2018 understanding the business case is essential. 5G will give you all the information you need.

Our Customer stream will take a closer look at how emerging technologies are revolutionising customer experience management and service provision.Key topics include effective use of customer data, customer-centric business models, content, UX, and mobile payments and commerce.

Corporate transformation will explore how telcos are restructuring to capitalise on new opportunities in the digital economy. We will explore the investment environment, digital investment strategies and M&A. We will also look at corporate restructuring in the digital age, focusing on the role of the Chief Digital Officer, skills and training, and more.
